Since most of the cities in Palm Beach County contain either "Palm" or "Beach" in their name, it can be easy for new residents to get a little confused about where things are. 

The county has a 1,970 square-mile area with a population nearing 1.5 million. Being so large, most people think of it in two parts- the north and the south. The north side of Palm Beach County starts with Jupiter, then Juno Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, North Palm Beach and Singer Island. The south side continues down the coast with West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Lake Worth, Delray Beach and Boca Raton.

The peak of the meteor shower this year will be Saturday night, the 21st, and early morning on Sunday the 22nd.

The Lyrids get their name because they are seen in the constellation Lyra the Harp. They were first observed by the Chinese more than 2,600 years ago.

As the Lyrid meteor shower takes place throughout the week, you can usually see an average of 20

The Palm Beach County coastline is riddled with natural and man-made reefs, sunken ships, barges and more. There are nearly 150 artificial dive sites off the coast and some of the coolest ones happen to be right around Singer Island.

To the west side of the Island in the inlet, there's a snorkeling trail at Phil Foster Park incorporating preserved reef with artificial concrete structures and sculptures.
